             …There’s a joy in it,
\nthe joy of everything
\nthat dances around it,
\nthe milkweeds dangling their old,
\ngoose-bumpy pods,
\nthe Queen Anne’s Lace 
\nlifting the lacy purses
\nthey have woven
\nfrom their blossoms. How could we
\nhave overlooked the beauty
\nof the tiny, bristled stars
\nthey now carry\u2026<\/p>\n
